Matt Garza had some advice for Jeff Samardzia, saying his former teammate needs to "pitch your way out of there" if he doesn't want to stay with the Cubs.

Garza spent parts of three seasons with the Cubs before being traded to the Rangers last season. 

"All I can tell him is keep pitching -- pitch your way out of it," Garza, who signed with the Brewers this offseason, told reporters. "Keep your eyes focused, your eyes straight ahead and just pitch. There's nothing else you can do."
